After chasing the tiger demon all night, Chu Chen packed everything up and it was already early morning.
The mist is thick and the morning light is slightly dewy.
Chu Chen turned into a white crane and soared into the clouds and mist, soaring into the sky.
As soon as I came out of the mountain, I saw the rising sun, with its rich purple energy.
Facing this great sun, Chu Chen stopped rushing.
He fell from the sky and found an open place to collect the purple energy of the morning sun to practice.
After blowing his hair to become a tiger, he also summoned soldiers and ordered his subordinates to protect him. He collected medicines and refined qi and practiced for two days. Only then was he satisfied and continued on his way back to Guangping County. .
Coincidentally, at the gate of the county town, he met his senior brother Zhenqing.
Senior Brother Zhenqing also just came back from the mountains. He looked dusty and a little tired.
Obviously, there was a lot of running around last night.
"Junior brother, you just came back from the mountains? How about you, did you catch the wanted monster?"
Senior Brother Zhenqing has reached the seventh level in Taoist cultivation a few days ago. Every time he meets Chu Chen, he is always smiling and talkative. He always cares about his junior brother and is quite like a senior brother.
Chu Chen also smiled at his senior brother:
"Well, I happened to catch one last night."
"not bad!"
Senior Brother Zhenqing was quite surprised: "You have just become a first-class deputy squad leader, and you will be able to reap rewards if you are responsible for hunting down monsters. This is quite good."
"Unlike me, senior brother, I have been in business for several months longer than you. In the past few days, I have managed to catch five eighth-level monsters."
The first part was fine, and the praise was quite pertinent, but the second part... was completely Versailles speaking.
Chu Chen knew it well, but instead of trying to undermine him, he took advantage of the situation and gave him a few compliments.
Senior Brother Zhenqing felt very happy after hearing this.
However, in the end, he couldn’t help but express his feelings and said:
"It's a pity that I don't have any clues about the seventh-grade demon. If I can capture a seventh-grade demon, I will be sure to win the battle for the counselor of the county capital this time."
"However, senior brother, I am quite confident. Apart from the first-class deputy squad leader who captured seventh-grade demons, I should be the one who has apprehended the most demons."
"Our Lingshan sect is a small sect. Senior brother, my family is not a family of immortal cultivators. We have to work hard on our own..."
...
The two senior brothers chatted all the way into the County Ghosts and Gods Division. The eldest brother went to the Dihao Courtyard, while Chu Chen returned to the Huanghao Courtyard.
Originally, Chu Chen planned to tell his senior brother that he had captured a seventh-grade demon, but after hearing what his senior brother said, he couldn't speak.
If he said it to his face, wouldn't it be a slap in the senior brother's face?
Chu Chen had no choice but to keep a low profile.
After saying hello to Xiucai and Lin Miaoyin, Chu Chen went to the class study to collect the bounty for the "Blood-striped Demon Tiger".
Claiming your bounty is a simple process.
Once verified by the superiors, Chu Chen would immediately receive the bounty of 12,000 jade coins from the "Blood Patterned Devil Tiger".
Normally, the process would not be that simple.
If a first-class deputy squad leader has captured a seventh-grade demon, the Ghosts and Gods Department will definitely publicize it, set him up as a model, and publicize praises.
However, perhaps because the cases of bounties on monsters have been solved one after another recently, the Department of Ghosts and Gods will no longer publicize them.
Not only is it not publicized, but it is deliberately kept low-key.
Chu Chen deeply suspected that the governor, deputy governor, and deans of the county ghosts and gods department, and the deans of each hospital did this deliberately to add suspense.
The three-year performance evaluation is coming, and the senior officials of the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods use the "county counselor" to lure the first-class deputy team leader to work hard to solve the case and clear up more cases of ghosts and ghosts.
If a group of first-class deputy squad leaders were informed, a group of people would arrest demons one after another, including many seventh-grade demons.
Most of the first-class deputy squad leaders must be afraid of the difficulties and are unwilling to invest money and use their personal connections to collect information on demons.
If it had been concealed, this situation wouldn't have happened.
After all, the demon bounty case is wanted all over Qingzhou, so most people would take a chance, thinking that someone from the Ghost and God Department of another county might have captured the demon, and they would still have a chance to give it a try.
"For the evaluation, both the supervisor and the dean worked hard, and this kind of trick was also played."
Coming out of the class study room, Chu Chen was filled with emotion.
After apprehending the "Blood-striped Demonic Tiger", the Mutual Aid Association currently has no clues for other wanted demons.
Chu Chen was also happy to be free and went straight back to Yunshui Residence to practice the newly acquired [Tiger Letter Seal Fuhu Treasure].
In fact, the Lingshan School's "Dijin Collection" also contains the magical power of "subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger".
Among the magic powers in the master's sect, [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger] is a magic power that is relatively difficult to master.
[Dragon Subduing Talisman] and [Fuhu Tiger Talisman] are extremely difficult to write.
I have mastered two spiritual talismans. If I want to refine [Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger], I have to sacrifice dragon and tiger bones into the talisman.
For example, if the dragon bones of seventh-grade dragons and the tiger bones of seventh-grade demon tigers are used as sacrificial materials, then the master's [Subduing Dragons and Tigers] magical power can subdue dragons and tigers with Taoist cultivation below seventh grade.
The master's [Subduing Dragon and Subduing Tiger] magical power is also quite powerful.
Chu Chen didn't have time to learn the sect [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger].
The master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, made it. His [Dragon Subduing Talisman] and [Tiger Subduing Talisman] can subdue seventh-level evil dragons and ferocious tigers.
"As expected of Mr. Guigu, he passed down the secret method directly. It is also [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger], but the magical effects are different."
Chu Chen felt quite emotional.
The magical power of Fuhu in [Tiger Letter Seal Fuhu Bao] is even more mysterious. It can scare tigers, kill tigers, control tigers, and transform tigers, etc., with endless magical uses.
Of course, this does not mean that the master's magical power [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger] is not as good as [Tiger Letter Seal Fuhu Treasure].
At least, [Dragon Subduing Talisman] and [Tiger Subduing Talisman] are extremely good at subduing evil dragons and tigers.
Chu Chen had the help of Xin Temple, and he was quick to master all kinds of magical powers. He practiced both kinds of magical powers [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger].
At that time, the left hand [Tiger Seal] and [Dragon Seal]; the right hand [Dragon Subduing Talisman] and [Fuhu Tiger Talisman], that is the real subduing dragon and tiger, with great magical power.
Chu Chen also has a piece of seventh-grade Thunder Zhenzao wood in his hand, which can be used to sacrifice the [Tiger Letter Seal].
Ten days later.
In the past ten days, Lao Liu captured another eighth-grade demon, and the two of them received a bounty of 5,000 jade coins.
The merit level increased by one level, reaching one hundred and forty-one.
Chu Chen took some time off from his busy schedule and had been training his weapons and horses at home, practicing magic and magical powers.
He re-refined the tiger hair of the spell [Blowing Hair into a Tiger].
After being sacrificed with the fur of a seventh-grade tiger monster, the summoned fat tiger's supernatural powers greatly increased, and he learned magical powers such as blood escape and wind control. The attacks of the tiger's pounce and tiger claws also became sharper and more ferocious.
Originally, he planned to switch to the "Pang Tiger", but he couldn't resist the kid's begging, so he had to endure the discomfort and continue to use the Fat Tiger.
[Tiger Letter Seal Fuhu Treasure] was also successfully sacrificed.
In one fell swoop, Chu Chen mastered the magical power of subduing the tiger, and mastered the ability to frighten the tiger, kill the tiger, control the tiger, and transform the tiger. The transformation of his magical power became more and more mysterious.
In addition, the little fox fairy Daiyan gave him three "life-saving fox hairs" as promised to win him over.
These three life-saving fox hairs are one-time consumption treasures, but they are still extremely valuable.
Through this life-saving fox hair, Chu Chen can summon a three-tailed celestial fox for him to drive based on his eighth-level Taoist cultivation.
The two-tailed celestial fox has the eighth-level Taoist cultivation level, and the three-tailed celestial fox naturally has the seventh-level Taoist cultivation level.
At critical moments, these three "fox hairs" are indeed the only magic weapon for a comeback and victory.
He acquired the magical power of crouching on the tiger and obtained three more "life-saving fox hairs".
With double happiness coming, Chu Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the clean room, was in a great mood.
"Senior brother, Senior Brother Wang Ping's spiritual crane message has arrived."
At this time, the little ghost hurriedly broke into the clean room, holding a paper crane in his hand.
He reached out and took a shot, and the paper crane flew into his hand.
"Has the appointment document for the County Counselor's appointment to the Immortal Court come down?"
Chu Chen has no obsession with the position of counselor of the county capital. After all, he is still young and does not have the seventh-level Taoist training, so there is no need to rush.
However, it is definitely false to say that he does not expect to be on the list.
"Senior brother, if you become the counselor of the capital, will you be rewarded?"
The kid asked cautiously.
Chu Chen was quite generous: "That must be there!"
"Very good!"
The little devil cheered, and then he closed his eyes and muttered something.
Chu Chen's expression froze.
"Little devil, what are you muttering about? Don't bless me. Senior brother, I can't bear it!"
The kid grinned: "Senior brother, don't worry, I'm cursing you, no, I'm curing you, so that your calamity will be consumed in advance. When the calamity is gone, you will have good fortune and prosperity. Highlights!"
Chu Chen was silent.
He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
